"For a claim that arises under federal law, serving a summons or filing a waiver of service establishes personal jurisdiction over a defendant if:
- The defendant is not subject to jurisdiction in any state’s courts of general jurisdiction; and
- Exercising jurisdiction is consistent with the United States Constitution and laws."
Please explsin this in laymen terms
Sure, in simpler terms, FRCP *(k)(*) says that if you have a federal law claim, you can establish personal jurisdiction over a defendant by serving a summons or filing a waiver of service if:
- The defendant is not under any specific state's jurisdiction; and
- It's fair and legal under the U.S. Constitution and laws to exercise jurisdiction over the defendant.

If the defendant does business in your state, jurisdiction might be established under:
- FRCP *(k)(*)(a): Jurisdiction can be the same as the state court where the lawsuit is filed.
- * U.S. Code § *(c)(*): A corporation is deemed a citizen of the state where it has its principal place of business.
